Please refer to the illustrations in section D of the illustration sheet.
Setting Up The VPAP
1 Place the VPAP unit on a flat surface near the head of your bed. If the unit is
placed on the floor, ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of
bedding, clothes or any other objects that could block the air inlet.
!
CAUTION
Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where
someone is likely to trip over the power cord.
2
Connect the power cord to the socket at the rear of the flow generator. Plug
the other end of the power cord into a power outlet (D-1).
!
WARNING
Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and the
equipment is not damaged.
The air filter cover protects the device in the event of accidental
liquid spillage onto the device. Ensure that the air filter and air filter
cover are fitted at all times.
3
Connect one end of the air tubing firmly onto the air outlet of the unit (D-2).
!
WARNING
Only ResMed air tubing should be used with your flow generator. A
different type of air tubing may alter the pressure you actually receive
and reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.
4
Assemble your mask system according to the mask user instructions.
5
Connect your mask system to the free end of the air tubing (D-3).
The VPAP system is now assembled (D-4). To start treatment, see “Starting
Treatment” on page 13.
